The longer the Keystone XL<\/a> decision is delayed, the more attention it gets.<\/p>\n The Obama Administration began Easter weekend by announcing that a decision had been postponed indefinitely<\/a>. The fallout from that announcement trickled into the cable TV talk-show cycle on Monday and Tuesday. Bold Nebraska<\/a> founder Jane Kleeb took to MSNBC’s Reid Report to discuss the Cowboy and Indian Alliance Reject and Protect campaign<\/a> this week in Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Host Joy Reid asked Kleeb what her specific opposition was to the pipeline. After all, a recent survey from the Pew Research Center found that 61 percent of Americans actually support construction of the 1,179-mile pipeline.<\/p>\n “The more you learn about tar sands and the more you learn about TransCanada<\/a>, the company that wants to build this pipeline, they are bullies,” Kleeb said. “They are forcing landowner to sign contracts that are very one-sided and shift a lot of the liability of oil spills when they happen … If you’re an [agricultural] community like Nebraska, you rely on your land and clean water. So, for us, this isn’t about red and blue fights, this is about clean or polluted water.”<\/p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_331488\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"500\"] The MSNBC tour continued for Kleeb on The Ed Show<\/em>. There, she discussed many of the same issues, but was accompanied by Dallas Goldtooth of the Lower Sioux Dakota Nation. He said the delay should be viewed as a “huge victory” and signal that Washington is listening to the concerns of his group and many others who have been fighting against the pipeline for years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n ——–<\/p>\n YOU ALSO MIGHT LIKE<\/b><\/p>\n State Department Indefinitely Delays Keystone XL Pipeline Decision<\/a><\/p>\n Bill McKibben: We Need to Win Not Delay the Keystone XL Pipeline Decision<\/a><\/p>\n![\"KXL](\"http:\/\/files.cdn.ecowatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/pewkxl.jpeg\")
